GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
John W. Work, Jr. ~ Public Domain

While shepherds kept their watching,
O'er silent flocks by night;
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light.

Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

And lo, when they had seen it,
They all bowed down and prayed;
They traveled on together
To where the Babe was laid.

The shepherds feared and trembled,
When lo above the earth;
Rang out the angel chorus,
That hailed our Savior's birth.

Down in a lowly manger,
The humble Christ was born;
And brought us God's salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn.
